Partner institutions
Working with state institutions and academic partners across security, defense, infrastructure, and higher education.
Tsum builds AI capability, governance, and operating discipline for state agencies and the enterprise organizations driving institutional modernization.
Modernization programmes fail at the seam between policy ambition and operating capability. Tsum closes that seam through advisory, technology, sourcing, and training that makes new capability stick.
Institutional diagnosis, governance frameworks, standard operating procedures, data and privacy rules, chain-of-custody design, and inter-agency protocols. The architecture that determines whether a programme is implementable, auditable, and sustainable.
AI and analytics platforms, digital evidence systems, command decision-support, institutional repositories. Bespoke where the work is sensitive and locally-specific; commercial-off-the-shelf where the right answer already exists.
Accelerator-led downselection rather than vendor-driven procurement. Global technology scouting, structured evaluation, commercial and IP terms, and deployment coordination — the discipline that prevents capture and dependency.
Curriculum design, specialist instruction, post-training mentoring, and institutional knowledge transfer. The component most often underfunded — and the reason capability evaporates between governments.
Our leadership team brings combined experience across governance, startups, advisory, and operations. Senior advisors add depth from extensive work with large organizations and government agencies across the globe.
Founder and intellectual originator of Tsum Intelligence. Engineer by training with prior founder experience. His approach treats institutional failures as failures of design — of the foundational clauses, mandates, and operating rules that quietly determine whether an institution functions with integrity over time.
Economist with the Economist Group (London), where he leads quantitative economic modelling, macroeconomic impact analysis, and cost-benefit work for global policy and industry stakeholders across health, climate, water, energy, and food systems in 100+ countries.
A seasoned operator across research, business development, and grant authoring — including NPR 3 Crores secured in development funding. Previously R&D Lead at Katha Nepal and Research Officer at King's College Growth and Innovation Studies. Builds the operating discipline that programmes need to actually run.
Engineering leader with 10+ years experience building teams and products at Alarm.com. Currently oversees the infrastructure that supports real time GPU inferenced object detection and identification across millions of IoT cameras across Asia, North America, Australia, Europe and South America.
Ecosystem builder with a decade of venture-building and deep-tech experience across the US, China, and South Asia. Has worked with founders, federal agencies, and research institutions to commercialise emerging technology and design open-innovation programmes.
Tsum's approach to institutional modernization brings the discipline our agency needs. It would meaningfully accelerate the pace at which we adopt new capability and operate effectively under demanding conditions.
The depth of AI and analytical capability Tsum's team brings is rare in this region. It is exactly what frontier markets like Nepal need to upskill talent and build durable institutional capacity for the next decade.
